New scoring record looming in ACN 2008?
Samuel Eto’o was helped the Cameroonians beat the Zambians 5-1 in a game that pushed them into the next round. The game was well played with the Cameroonians showcasing their skilled defending, and highlighting the Zambian’s weaknesses (at one point Joseph Job was able to walk the ball into the net). Eto’o has matched 14 goals in 5 tournaments, equaling a 38-year-old record set by Laurent Pokou of the Ivory Coast. Let’s see if he will break that record. » Read more…
Tunisia/Senegal and South Africa/Angola end in a draw
Tunisia and Senegal have not met since 2004, but this match was highly anticipated. Tunisia led with an early lead from a goal by Traoui which was answered by a goal by Moustapha Sall. Diomansy Kamara scored another goal to help put Senegal in the lead but it was not to last long as Traoui scored another goal. It was obvious from the play that Senegal played a better game than Tunisia and it will be interesting to see how they do in their next match-up. » Read more…

Ghana vs. Guinea – Africa Cup of Nations 2008
Ghana has a strong team made up of players who have international experience, so it was expected that it would be fairly easy for them to beat Guinea, but Ghana fought hard, in a packed stadium, to beat Guinea in a last minute kick, courtesy of a stunning last minute 25-yard kick by Sulley Muntari. Both sides played very well with the first goal coming from Asamoah Gyan. He had another opportunity to score again but missed the opportunity. » Read more…
Giants hoping to tower over Patriots
The Giants fought hard and long and Eli Manning, who usually doesn’t inspire me, showed his true colors. I was actually cheering for the man (sigh…don’t hold it against me…I have a reflex cheer for good plays) and loved the fact that both the Giants game and the Patriots games were worth watching. » Read more…
